    This is true. I’m about to modify my script to just put in a “this person is no longer on Reddit” disclaimer instead of deleting them.

      i don’t suppose you’d send it to me when you’re done?

      i’ve been looking for a script that adds to comments rather than overwriting them, so i can put “this user has moved to lemmy” without losing any information

        PowerDeleteSuite might work for that, I’ve been using it for awhile to edit all and delete comments. I’ll try and see if I can edit all without deleting…

        EDIT: Yes you can edit all comments without deleting.

        Here’s the link to it: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

        EDIT again: There’s a new fork of that project that adds a 5s delay to help it work better. The original is now hampered by reddit’s bot detection stuff.

        newer fork: https://github.com/pkolyvas/PowerDeleteSuite/

      The restored comments have been coming back without the edits, so it stands to reason edits might be restored also.
